placed in charge of the logging operations 

 for the state. . 



The plan of cutting adopted is intended 

 to preserve to the utmost the scenic value 

 of the lake slopes. For the most part, the 

 timber immediately along the lake shores 

 will be left intact, a salvage cutting only 

 being made here. 



The terms of this contract constitute an 

 important innovation in the management of 

 timber sales on state lands in Idaho, and 

 are attracting wide attention. 



Dr. Henry Schmitz, of Washington Uni- 

 versity, at St. Louis, has just been called to 

 the faculty of the School of Forestry. He 

 graduated with honors from the School 

 of Forestry, University of Washington, 

 Seattle, in 1915. In September, 1916 he was 

 appointed a fellow in the Shaw School of 

 Botany of Washington University, St. 

 Louis, from which he graduated in June, 

 1919 with the degree of Doctor of Phil- 

 osophy, writing his thesis on the "Relation 

 of Bacteria to the Decay of Wood." From 

 July, 1917 to January, 1919, Mr. Schmitz 

 was in the U S. Naval Reserve Force 

 where he served with distinction. He has 

 had practical experience in the forests of 

 the Northwest with both the U. S. Forest 

 Service and private concerns. Dr. Schmitz 

 comes to the School of Forestry with the 

 best endorsements from those who know 

 his work. Dr. G. T. Moore, director of the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden, says of him, 

 "As an investigator he has shown himself 

 capable of conducting high grade work in- 

 dependently, and there is no reason why he 

 should not make a distinct mark for him- 

 self because of his ability in research." 



I. W. Cook, associate professor of 

 forestry was with the Rose Lake Lumber 

 company during the summer, engaged on 

 stumping appraisal work. 



NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF 

 FORESTRY 



ii'T'AKE the Returning Soldiers Back," is 

 the policy of the New York College of 

 Forestry at Syracuse, at the head of which 

 is Dean Hugh P. Baker, who won a commis- 

 sion as captain of infantry. Five return- 

 ing soldiers have been given positions in 

 the faculty of the college. All are men who 

 were formerly with the college, and the ap- 

 pointments are as follows : Russell T. 

 Gheen, formerly with the extension depart- 

 ment, later with the Southern Pine Associa- 

 tion, captain in field artillery, returning 

 to the extension department for special 

 work in New York state, particularly for 

 lecture work. 



Reuben T. Pritchard, assistant professor 

 of silviculture, first lieutenant with Battery 

 F, 345th Field Artillery, of Texas ; George 

 H. Cless, Jr., formerly of the extension de- 

 partment, later with the National Lumber 

 Manufacturers association in charge of ex- 

 hibits, first lieutenant with trench mortar 



battery in Italy, and in charge of a military 

 commission to investigate food supplies in 

 Hungary and Serbia after the armistice ; 

 Oliver M. Porter, Captain Quartermaster 

 Corps, with troops in Europe, former fac- 

 ulty member; Allan F. Arnold, formerly 

 with the extension department, who re- 

 turns as sergeant, but with a special cita- 

 tion for bravery in action. 



New Professor of Forest Extension 

 Warren B. Bullock, former Milwaukee 

 newspaper correspondent and magazine 

 writer, has been madt professor of forest 

 extension at the New York State College of 

 Forestry, Syracuse, New York, marking 

 what appears to be a new campaign of ad- 

 vocacy of forest development. Mr. Bullock 

 has been in newspaper work in Milwaukee 

 nearly 20 years, as reporter, editor and head 

 of the news bureau bearing his name. He 

 became interested in forestry while pub- 

 licity manager of the National Lumber 

 Manufacturers' Association. 



The selection of Mr. Bullock for the 

 eastern work evidently is a part of Dean 

 Baker's plan to go to the people of the 

 State with his advocacy of modern forestry 

 methods. 



PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE 

 OF FORESTRY 



'"PHE Freshmen Forestry Camp of the 

 Pennsylvania State College, was held 

 on a 1400 acre tract of young timber near 

 Lamar, Pennsylvania, which is about 30 

 miles from the College. This is the per- 

 manent camp site for Freshmen. 



The Sophomore Camp was with the Cen- 

 tral Pennsylvania Lumber Company at 

 Laquin, Pennsylvania. The lumber mills at 

 Laquin and Masten were studied and the 

 logging operations at Hillsboro. Side trips ' 

 were taken to study the many wood-using 

 industries in the region. 



Professor George R. Green, who has 

 been in charge of the section of wood 

 technology at the Naval Aircraft Factory, 

 Philadelphia, returned to State College 

 during July to give the work in Forestry 

 and Tree Identification in the Summer 

 Session of the College for teachers. 



Lieutenant W. G. Edwards, Assistant 

 Professor of Forestry, has returned from 

 France where he was with the 10th 

 Forestry Regiment and later with the 20th 

 Regiment. He will have charge of the 

 courses in lumbering. 



The Forestry Department has recently 

 been placed in charge of the 200 acres of 

 woodlands on the college farms which 

 cover 1500 acres of land. 



An arboretum will be started in the fall 

 which will include all the woody vegeta- 

 tion indigenous to the state of Pennsyl- 

 vania.
